Re: Caring for Caregivers Act HB 1368
The Board of OPHC urges all home care agencies in the state to support the Caring for Caregivers Act, HB
1368. According to Jim Randall, AARP Oklahoma President, the Act provides financial relief to family
caregivers who pay for home safety modifications, medical equipment, or home health care. The
proposed nonrefundable tax credit covers up to 50% of expenses incurred by family caregivers. It
is capped at $2,000 or $3,000 if the care recipient is a veteran or has dementia. The goal of the Act is to
help people remain in their homes safely instead of moving into nursing homes.
If you are not sure who your state senator or representative is or how to contact them, you can go to action.aarp.org/okcares to
email your legislators or call 866-839-1067 and ask them to support the Caring for Caregivers Act.
